Heard in the songs "Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith and "Janie Jones" by The Clash.

This is what William Clark called Sacajawea. (from William and Clarks famous journey across the continent) Clark gave it to her so he could pronounce her name better and so she could have a "white" name.

My name is Jane, but I go by Janie so I'm distinguished from my grandmother. I love my name, but my only issue is other people's confusion with the more popular 'Jamie.' Lots of people tell me it's a cute name, a less serious version of Jane. I think it's a good best friend name; Harriet the Spy's best friend is Janie, and Megan, on Drake & Josh, has a best friend named Janie.

The name Janie was given to 162 baby girls born in the US in 2012. I think it makes a nice nickname for Jane, which is a little more mature and not as sweet as Janie. It's also very uncommon, which is a plus!

I ♡ this name! :D The double-plus-good thing about Janie is that it's uncommon. •ᴗ• I am VERY TEMPTED to name my daughter this (not as a nickname, but as an actual first name). This sounds sweeter than Jane. ( ˘ ³˘)❤ I like how Janie has a homey feel to it. I imagine an approachable, friendly person with the name Janie. Oh, and I find this spelling much more appealing than 'Janey'. Btw, Janie does NOT sound over the top cutesy unlike other names.
